There isn't much I can add here except for the local expertise of the Boise area and our sister company property management team get these inquires often from tenants - so we have seen many ways how not to inquire about it and a few good ways haha.

I know enough about a lot of things to be dangerous, but lack detailed expertise and certifications.I will say that I was extremely disappointed with my last realtors lack of construction knowledge so you will have a leg up there for sure, and you should play up that as a selling point

It can be a very good market, but the why behind your choice may help us give you better advice on how to move forward.Before realtors and property managers, you really need to meet other investors so you are making a good move by trying to do that here, but it would be better if you could do it in person.

You are not going to make anything on it, so you will not have to worry about capital gains. 

It was free so worse came to worse I would break even How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

So they will rent without buying even though buying is available to them but they dont want to live where its affordable.

You pay 10% penalty plus taxes (lets say state and federal of 25%) - so you are paying $70k in taxes so your $200k is now $130k.

If so, where?

If so, you can add the value to your property more effectively.

I have 1000 sqft so $250k.if I have no GC and manage all the subcontractors I will not have a Rolodex so have to find subcontractors and I’m sure there are a million other complexities.
